ABC suspends reporter for inaccurate report on Kobe Bryant
By Jane Lee
Lede:
NEW YORK — ABC says it has suspended reporter Matt Gutman for incorrectly reporting that all four of Kobe Bryant's children were with him in the helicopter crash north of Los Angeles on Sunday that killed the basketball star and eight others.
The lede is well-written in one sentence and includes the five Ws, who (reporter Matt Gutman), what (all four of Kobe Bryant's children were with him in the helicopter crash), when(Sunday), where (ABC-New York and north of LA), why (incorrectly reporting) and how (suspended), without hiding the bear.
During the class, we learned that a good lede should not use the passive voice and this lede doesn't have any. Also, I think there is no part that should be cut out because all information in the lede is important facts and what the readers must know about.
